The simple reply is that it's the supreme law of the land in which this country is based upon period. If it's outdated, or those who claim as such they need to shut their mouths and get off their lazy asses and move congress to repeal it's articles or amendments by 2/3 rds of each house and then ratified by 3/4ths of the states. Furthermore, if they are referring to the second amendment remind them that it was recently addressed in the Heller decision by the Supreme Court a year or two ago. Tell them they need get into school and call them traitors as well. It's not so much that it's outdated, they just don't like it nor respect it.

PIERS MORGAN: BOTH THE BIBLE AND U.S. CONSTITUTION ARE ‘INHERENTLY FLAWED’ AND NEED TO BE AMENDED

During a discussion on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” on Monday — Christmas Eve — with Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren, Morgan argued that there needs to be an “amendment to the Bible” for same-sex marriage, because like the Constitution, the Bible is “inherently flawed.”

Yes, I have heard that a number of times over the years and have read it in letters and opinion pages many times. My take is when people say this, you know it is more relevant today than ever. If you want to engage someone in conversation or debate about this, ask them with what would they replace the Constitution. What would they suggest as a better design for the nation? And does this also include the Bill of Rights (which according to at least two Founders, was not subject to amendment)?

It has been my experience when asking these questions of someone who makes a statement like this, that their response is in favor of a more socialistic form of government. The problem with these people is twofold: if you push them, you will soon find out that they have not fully thought out their argument; and that they tend to know little of history and what it teaches us about the folly of mankind with governments.

I've heard this once in my life from a liberal moron.For Facebook,I think there are more idiots there per capita than the internet.How many dolts advertise they are going on vacation so they can be robbed,or air their personal lives and the stupid crap they do.

There are alot of governments in this world,if you don't like this one leave and take your ignorant friends with you.Quite simple.

The only thing inherently flawed is him. His native country Great Britain is petitioning to keep him out and the US is petitioning to deport him. He better be doing some country shopping, or find a small island to seek asylum, what does that tell you? Pure Idiot.

The Constitution was never meant to be the "Law", it was meant to be the framework for the laws that our forefathers knew were to come. As such it is our "Mission Statement" and should never be changed. I don't even like the Amendments from the Eleventh forward. They were unnecessary as they could have been changed by legislative law instead of amendments. The Bible is similar, the Ten Commandments are the framework and Leviticus and Deuteronomy are the law. The original 10 commandments were a framework for a working code of religious and legal regulations for the People of Israel (the tribes, not the modern nation) and as such should not be changed. Those who are crying for change obviously do not understand the purpose and intent of the Constitution and Bible. Disregard the ignorant and follow sense and logic. We let other other people do too much of our thinking for us.

Outdated?

Have you heard people say this? My facebook is 'littered' with these kind of comments. Anybody else heard people say this?

I live in New York, so i hear this everyday and twice on Sunday. The Constitution is the basis for our leaders' authority. Scrap the Constitution and I ignore them, their laws, their taxes, etc.

Although, if they were smart they'd embrace the Constitution anew, because without it, the state of art tactic for getting rid of leaders that you don't like is stringing them up in the town square. As it stands, we vote them out and let them live out their lives. The alternative is not good for them...

It is only outdated to those who don't fully understand it and don't know history. Ask anyone who thinks that if they know anything about the Federalist Papers. And not just "I've heard of them", I mean have read any part of it. I bet I can guess the answer. Understanding the political philosophy behind the words in the Constitution is necessary in truly understanding the document and it's implications.

Honestly, I'm starting to understand why things are the way they are. Stupid people have us outnumbered, no wonder our vote doesn't count... Why would they leave important decisions like who should be our leaders up to a population filled with retards (overall I mean)?
